The situation in the Beiliang court was turbulent, but Nan Meng's side seemed calm.

During the days when Xie Lin returned to Chang'an from Yangzhou, Meng Xuanhe also brought Ying Wugui back to Bianjing.

Sitting in the bumpy carriage all the way, Meng Xuanhe dreamed of learning martial arts, and then, after getting away from all these things, he would travel the world and live a carefree life.

Seeing that Meng Xuanhe was unhappy, Ying Wugui rested his head on the stone table and asked her with interest: "Princess, are you bored? How about I play with you?"

Meng Xuanhe glanced at him. She was really bored.

In the past, in Bianjing City, she was always surrounded by Yan Liujing, Yan Chengan, Jiarun Jialang, and Xie Lin...

Now she is left alone, and this huge and prosperous city of Bianjing doesn't seem as lively as before.

"You don't know martial arts." Meng Xuanhe sighed and drew circles of patterns on the stone table with his fingers.

Ying Wugui chuckled, and there was no emotion in his beautiful and evil eyes. He suddenly stood up and leaned over to look at the little princess in front of him.

"Princess, you want to learn martial arts. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do it either." Ying Wugui blinked mischievously.

"But I have to remind you one thing, Princess. Not only did you banish all your former lovers, but you also let those two go in Yangzhou. There are rumors in Bianjing that the princess has changed her ways. I guess the emperor is also trying to figure out what you are thinking."

Ying Wugui's eyes were clear, and he reminded Meng Xuanhe with good intentions.

Meng Xuanhe was shocked to find out that he had three lovers, Jiarun, Jialang and Xie Lin, in his mansion, so that his image would not collapse too much.

Although he is now dead, he is a "dead man" after all and cannot appear in front of everyone openly.

So there are no more lovers in her princess mansion?

Ying Wugui reminded her that she didn't know what Meng Ziyan was thinking when she was not in Bianjing City.

Not only did she recently send away the chief minister in the princess's mansion, she also saved Su Yi that day, which won her unanimous praise from the women in the capital.

Maybe it was because she had done too many evil things, and it was rare for her to do something good that would change the people's opinion of her.

But this won't be a good thing. Although her reputation has improved, she is no longer of any use to Meng Ziyan.

She didn't protect Meng Ziyan from the abuse herself, and she was worried that Meng Ziyan would kill her if he was in a bad mood.

So in response to Ying Wugui's reminder, Meng Xuanhe weighed the pros and cons for a moment and nodded firmly to him.

Ying Wugui: What is this light in front of me? It’s so dazzling.

As he expected, Meng Xuanhe gave him the important task of finding a lover.

"Princess, can't you just have me? Why do you let me choose? I can't bear to let others share the princess."

Ying Wugui lowered his head slightly aggrieved, and Meng Xuanhe once again admired his acting skills.

He is indeed the man who has the power over the emperor in the deep palace.

Ying Wugui went out of the house to find a lover for Meng Xuanhe. Although he could not use martial arts to conceal his appearance, he could use disguise and sleight of hand to deceive others. With his skills, others could not see his true face at all.

This extremely realistic disguise technique made Meng Xuanhe very interested. He asked him about it indirectly, but Ying Wugui just brushed them off like a Tai Chi practitioner.

Suddenly remembering something, Meng Xuanhe walked out of the princess's mansion.

Now that Yangzhou has been settled, the shops in Bianjing can be closed down.

Although there is still some time before the fall of Nan Meng, it will be too late to close the business by then, and the shop will be a huge loss.

The person who holds the plot will never lose anything, so she wants to sell off Zuixianju and Chenxiangji shops in advance. If possible, she also wants to publish a few Jianghu notes.

The content is roughly about the new emperor's bumpy road to revenge, and the poor Xie Xiao's battle of wits with the rich man Meng.

Taking Meng Xuanhe and Xie Lin as prototypes, she thought it would be a best-seller in the future, after all, it predicted the future.

Chenxiangji has not been managed by Jiarun these days, and it relies entirely on the several perfume makers that Meng Xuanhe hired before. Meng Xuanhe wanted to see what Chenxiangji was like without anyone managing it, so he went to Chenxiangji first.

Wow, he gave her a surprise as soon as she entered the door.

The whole shop was in a mess, as if it had been looted. Dust was everywhere, and there were used-up spices, half-burned candles, curtains, and other things piled on the floor.

The messy things everywhere in the store were placed there inexplicably. Meng Xuanhe had nowhere to step, so he was careful not to step on anything and walked to the counter of Chenxiangji.

There was a note left on the counter with a line of words written on it.

"The shopkeeper didn't pay this month's wages on time. We waited and waited, and thought about it over and over again. This is the first time we have seen such a way of evading wages, so we took some things of equal value from the store and left. We are very sorry for messing up your shop."

Meng Xuanhe:?

She checked the shop and found that there were not many valuable items. A bonsai of painted enamel magnolia in the backyard had been moved away, and a glazed moonlight lamp and a white jade relief brush washer were missing.

These were treasures bestowed upon her by Meng Ziyan. They were useless if left alone anyway, so she thought of moving in Chenxiangji to help save the occasion.

This is a gift from the emperor. I hope the three perfume makers don't sell it. Meng Xuanhe prayed silently for them in his heart.

She spent the entire afternoon tidying up and cleaning Chenxiangji, and also added some new furnishings.

Although it is not a valuable item, it adds a quiet atmosphere to Chenxiangji.

Meng Xuanhe went to several places and completed the transfer procedures. Standing on the street of Bianjing, he clapped his hands, and the task was completed. The next step was to wait for the person who wanted to buy the shop to come and discuss with him.

Zuixianju had already closed down when I went to Yangzhou. It was originally a restaurant. The original owner of the restaurant saw that Zuixianju's business was so prosperous, hesitated for a moment, and then bought the restaurant back.

"Madam Wei, Zuixianju's business is so prosperous, why do you want to close down now?"

The original owner was the wife of a wealthy businessman. Her family had several businesses in Bianjing City. Because the business had been mediocre and in a loss-making state, she transferred this business to Meng Xuanhe.

Meng Xuanhe smiled and said, "I may not stay in Bianjing anymore."

She responded politely. The wealthy merchant's wife hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and asked, "But if I buy it back, I'm afraid I'll still lose money without the delicious food like when Madam Wei was running it. Madam Wei, can you sell me the recipe? I'll consider it no matter how much money you pay."

The wealthy businessman's wife was very sincere, and Meng Xuanhe was a little surprised.

Immediately, a good idea came to my mind.

"If you want the recipe, that's fine. You don't have to spend a lot of money. I just hope you can keep the Zuixianju signboard and give me 10% of the monthly profit, as well as a franchise fee of 200 taels of silver."

Meng Xuanhe said with a smile, thinking that his request was not excessive.

Although the concept of franchising did not exist in ancient times, she came from the modern era and was already accustomed to such a business model.

Two hundred taels of silver was roughly the restaurant's monthly profit, which was indeed a bit cheap. But Meng Xuanhe was a conscientious seller, and Bianjing City would be in dire straits in a year.

She didn't want to cheat the lady too much, so she wanted to at least let her make some money so that she wouldn't go bankrupt just when she made a profit.

Naturally, it was the first time for the wealthy businessman's wife to see such a way of business. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed. She signed the contract with Meng Xuanhe, and Zuixianju officially changed its owner.
